Public finances

The Public Finances programme produces independent forecasts of Dutch public finances (expenditures and revenues) in both the short and medium term. It also studies long-term public finances, with the challenge of including more aspects of general welfare. In addition, the programme certifies the projections of fiscal measures made by the Ministry of Finance. The research focuses on anchors for budgetary policy and its intergenerational redistribution effects, as well as on the analysis of public debt sustainability in financial markets.
